With more than 110 thousand investors in 110 countries, Hurst Capital wants to reach twenty new international partnerships by the end of 2025

Hurst Capital, the largest alternative asset platform in Latin America, wants to expand the number of international partnerships and wants to reach twenty different operations in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East by the end of the year. Founded in 2017, the company now has more than 110 thousand investors in more than ten countries, and has already originated more than R$ 1 billion in investment opportunities that have average profitability of the order of 20% per year.

“Today we have three important operations in progress, but we are already in negotiations to enter into other. By the end of the year, we want to have more than twenty operations running. And in five years, we want to be present in major international markets such as the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East”, says Arthur Farache, CEO of Hurst Capital.

Today, there are already three major operations with American assets in the real estate, stock options, among others. One of them is Neural Growth / OurCrowd AI Fund and involves big tech NVIDIA, one of the largest technology companies in the world. Hurst participates in fundraising in conjunction with the OurCrowd venture capital platform that manages more than US$ 2.3 billion and has invested in more than 440 companies and 56 funds on five continents. OurCrowd has a collaboration with the NVIDIA Inception program to offer 1-month technical support, with 0-month technical support and 1-month-year-to-year-to-end access to startups.

Another transaction is in partnership with Realty Mogul, a reference in real estate crowdfunding in the United States. With a duration of 15 months and dollar profitability of more than 13% per year, the Brazilian investor can participate in the indirect acquisition of Woodford Ridge, a class A complex with 93 rental houses in Bonaire, Georgia.

Also underway is the transaction of certificate of receivables Stock Options & Techs USA, in exclusive partnership with the Cedar Tree fund, which offers access to a portfolio of approximately 120 private companies (and unicorns) technology leaders in the USA. The fund finances the exercise of stock options of former employees, with average discounts of 72.1%.With a term of 52 months the expectation of return is 20% per year in dollar. In all three cases the minimum contribution is R$ 10 thousand.

“We were pioneers in Brazil in originating, offering opportunities and making investments in real assets accessible for portfolio diversification. Therefore, investors trust our platform, which has become a reference and gained the trust of foreign partners like those from the United States, a country where the supervision and punishments for those who do not comply with rules are much more severe. That is, we meet the high levels of demands of that market”, says Farache.

AI in retail: how technology is already transforming the industry

Artificial intelligence (AI) has ceased to be a futuristic promise to consolidate itself as a strategic ally of retail. With applications ranging from the personalization of the customer experience to the automation of operational processes, technology has increased the efficiency and competitiveness of the sector. With the intelligent use of AI, retailers can optimize inventory management, reduce costs and make more accurate decisions based on data.

One of the main transformations occurs in predictive analytics, which uses AI to anticipate demand for products and optimize store supply. This model reduces waste and prevents inventory disruptions, ensuring that customers find what they need at the right time.In addition, financial automation has been a competitive differentiator, helping companies better manage their cash flows and minimize operational risks.

In customer service, AI has revolutionized the shopping experience.Smart chatbots and virtual assistants are optimizing the consumer journey, offering fast and personalized answers.This type of technology improves the shopping experience, loyalty customers and reduces the overhead of support teams.

Another important advance is dynamic pricing, which adjusts prices in real time based on variables such as demand, competition and seasonality. This strategy, already widely used in e-commerce, has also been gaining ground in physical retail, allowing companies to maximize their profit margins without compromising the attractiveness of products.

More efficiency, safety and predictability

Retail security also benefits from AI, with systems capable of detecting suspicious behavior patterns and preventing fraud.In the retail financial sector, automation driven by artificial intelligence reduces errors in tax and tax processes, ensuring more transparency and compliance with current legislation.

Although AI is revolutionizing retail, its implementation requires careful planning.The effective use of technology depends on a good data infrastructure and the ability of teams to interpret the information generated.

The future of retail will be increasingly guided by artificial intelligence, but the human factor will remain essential. AI does not replace the decision-making of managers, but enhances their ability to innovate and improve processes. With a balanced approach, the sector can extract the maximum benefit from this digital transformation.

Don't know what to give your mother this year? Zenvia's artificial intelligence helps you in this mission!

Choosing the ideal gift for Mother's Day may seem easy.until you find yourself researching at the last minute, with no idea what suits her.And you are not alone. According to research from YouGov Profiles, more than 70% of people are concerned about what to buy. 

With this in mind, the Perfect Gift Chatbot was born, idealized with Zenvia's generative artificial intelligence, which enables companies to create personal, engaging and fluid experiences along the customer journey.

And best of all: it's easy and quick to use. No complicated codes, installation need or hours of research. Just access the link https://zenvia.chat/QHJJi and give a ’i’ to start the conversation. With simple questions and light chat, Chatbot understands the profile of the mother and suggests gift options that have to do with her, intuitively and affordably.

But what about ChatGPT?

While other artificial intelligences require the person to know what to ask (so-called prompts), the Perfect Gift Chatbot does the reverse: it conducts the conversation lightly, exploring the mother's style, her preferences and even if she likes consumable gifts or affective experiences more.

Based on multiple consolidated AIs, the chatbot accesses a broader set of data, delivering varied and assertive alternatives. 

“We created our chatbot to be a support at this special time of the year, in which family ties gain even more meaning. It does not replace the affection of a son or daughter when choosing a gift, but acts as a facilitator, rescuing affective memories that sometimes we do not even remember that we have, inspiring ideas and helping to transform memories into gestures that thrill”lilian Lima, VP of Technology at Zenvia, said. 

More than practicality, the tool shows how artificial intelligence can also be used to bring people together, helping to turn a simple memory into a gift full of intention.

Amid the crisis, stablecoins will continue to grow, Bitybank analysis reveals

The Latin American financial sector has been intensifying its presence in the digital environment in an accelerated way. In the last three months, banks, digital wallets, brokerages and fintechs have invested around US$ 327 million in digital campaigns, resulting in 16.9 billion impressions, according to Admetricks data.

According to Rafael Magdalena, director of US Media Performance, this movement goes beyond a simple budget redistribution.“The increase in investment in digital media represents a strategic turnaround.Since the pandemic, the digitalization of financial services has gained momentum, leading banks and fintechs to prioritize digital channels for customer acquisition. Digital wallets, for example, have evolved into full banks, vying for space with traditional institutions (especially in the credit segment”, he says.

The 2024 figures reinforce this strategic change. According to Appsflyer, the financial sector led media investments in the region, with a total of US$ 1 billion 1 billion 1 billion % almost three times more than the second place, the games sector. This leap reveals a transformation in strategic positioning: digital channels are no longer supporting to become pillars of growth. In Mexico, for example, the financial vertical leads the contributions in user acquisition among Spanish-speaking countries.

Also according to the survey, the estimate is that the number of global mobile banking users exceeds 3.6 billion by 2025. In this scenario, the financial sector not only responds to transformations (it has been a protagonist in driving these changes. “This new appetite of investors has been driving the advancement of digital marketing strategies, consolidating the media as one of the main vectors of scale and return. The online presence has ceased to be accessory and has come to occupy the center of acquisition actions”, concludes Magdalena.

When data, channels and context work together
The integration between primary data, smart segmentation and performance technologies has enabled strategies increasingly aligned with consumer behavior. As a result, the digital performance of financial companies has registered a global growth of 27% in 2024.In Latin America, the number of sessions in applications has increased by 50% and installations have risen by 29%, according to Adjust.

For Magdalena, institutions are realizing that being online is not enough. “The sector begins to understand that it is necessary to know where, when and how to appear. This requires good positioning, efficient use of metrics and accurate reading of the public. The diversification of formats and channels is not only a trend; it is essential. The future of economic advertising is in connecting touch points fluidly, activating actions with clear objectives and measuring impact with” precision, he explains.

Today, communication in the area goes beyond brand building. Conversion, retention and re-engagement take center stage.Mobile platforms, CTV, social networks, influencers and Retail Media operate in an integrated manner, requiring consistency throughout the journey.

The code to power AI

A inteligência artificial (IA), antes uma tendência promissora, se tornou hoje uma realidade fascinante. Segundo dados da McKinsey, a adoção de IA por empresas saltou para 72% em 2024. Aplicada em diferentes casos de uso pessoal, nas organizações e até mesmo em governos, a IA, especialmente a IA Generativa (GenAI), deve continuar crescendo rapidamente, adicionando trilhões de dólares à economia global.

Embora seus benefícios sejam indiscutíveis, ainda há facetas nebulosas. Uma pesquisa da Deloitte descobriu que muitas organizações acreditam que novos problemas podem surgir devido à expansão de projetos-piloto de IA, regulamentações pouco claras sobre dados confidenciais e dúvidas sobre o uso de dados externos (por exemplo, dados de terceiros sob licença). Das empresas ouvidas, 55% disseram evitar certos casos de uso de IA devido a questões relacionadas a dados, e uma proporção igual está trabalhando para melhorar a segurança de seus dados.

A insegurança digital foi um tema relevante na edição de 2024 do Fórum Econômico Mundial, que a destacou como um dos principais riscos da atualidade, atrás da desinformação e das fake news, dos eventos climáticos extremos e da polarização política. Os líderes entrevistados mencionaram que novas ferramentas e capacidades tecnológicas, como as fornecidas pela inteligência artificial, devem dificultar o caminho para o crime cibernético ao longo desta década.

Prevenir segue sendo melhor que remediar

O desenvolvimento da IA ??traz riscos para as organizações se não for implementado corretamente. No entanto, uma inteligência artificial bem projetada pode não apenas prevenir vulnerabilidades, mas também se tornar uma ferramenta altamente eficaz para combater possíveis ataques. Para isso, o primeiro passo é ter em mente que a adoção da IA deve ocorrer em etapas.

Quando a proteção é priorizada em detrimento da detecção, com ações preventivas, as violações se tornam muito mais claras e fáceis de controlar. A principal preocupação das empresas deve ser a segurança de sua infraestrutura. Uma plataforma de IA robusta com componentes estabelecidos contribui para a inovação, eficiência e, consequentemente, para um ambiente mais seguro.

Uma das estratégias nesse sentido é a adoção do open source, hoje um dos principais propulsores da inteligência artificial. O código aberto tem sido o motor da inovação por décadas e, ao combinar a experiência das comunidades de desenvolvedores do mundo todo com o poder dos algoritmos de IA, libera um potencial extremo para a inovação segura. Soluções open source, baseadas na nuvem híbrida aberta, dão às organizações a flexibilidade de executar suas aplicações e sistemas de IA em qualquer ambiente de dados, seja em nuvens públicas ou privadas ou na edge, garantindo maior segurança.

Mais que segura, uma IA confiável

Vários fatores devem ser considerados ao mitigar riscos. Da perspectiva da transparência e da explicabilidade, os algoritmos devem ser compreensíveis. Além disso, é fundamental garantir que os sistemas de IA não perpetuem preconceitos. Como empresa líder em soluções open source, na Red Hat promovemos modelos de desenvolvimento colaborativo e aberto, onde a comunidade pode auditar e melhorar algoritmos, facilitando o controle e a mitigação de vieses em tempo real.

Além disso, estamos comprometidos em democratizar o uso da IA ??por meio do código aberto e de iniciativas como os Small Language Models, que permitem que mais organizações aproveitem a IA sem barreiras tecnológicas ou de custo. Um relatório recente da Databricks mostrou que mais de 75% das empresas estão escolhendo esses modelos de código aberto menores e personalizados para casos de uso específicos.

Um exemplo são os ambientes abertos de IA que fornecem uma estrutura flexível para cientistas de dados, engenheiros e desenvolvedores criarem, implantarem e integrarem projetos de forma mais rápida e eficiente. Plataformas desenvolvidas pelo open source têm segurança embutida no design, tornando mais fácil para as organizações treinar e implantar modelos de IA com padrões rígidos de proteção de dados.

Alinhados com o futuro

Outra preocupação das empresas e da sociedade em relação ao uso da IA ??em larga escala está relacionada à sustentabilidade. De acordo com a Gartner, a IA está impulsionando rápidos aumentos no consumo de eletricidade, com a consultoria prevendo que 40% dos data centers de IA existentes serão operacionalmente limitados pela disponibilidade de energia até 2027.

??Otimizar o consumo energético das infraestruturas tecnológicas é essencial para reduzir a pegada de carbono e mitigar os efeitos das alterações climáticas, contribuindo para atingir os objetivos da Agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU). Projetos como Kepler e Climatik, por exemplo são essenciais para a inovação sustentável.

A IA e seus complementos, como GenAI e Machine Learning, podem — e de fato já estão fazendo isso — revolucionar setores essenciais por meio de soluções inovadoras, como diagnósticos médicos automatizados ou análises de risco no sistema de justiça. Junto com outras tecnologias como computação quântica, Internet das Coisas (IoT), Edge Computing, 5G e 6G, essa tecnologia será a base para o desenvolvimento de cidades inteligentes, para a descoberta de inovações sem precedentes e para escrever um novo capítulo da história. Mas, embora todas essas soluções tenham um papel crucial, devemos sempre lembrar que são os talentos que as desenvolvem, implementam e as utilizam estrategicamente, para resolver problemas específicos, alinhando tecnologia e negócios.

A colaboração é, portanto, fundamental para mitigar riscos e avançar com mais segurança em direção a um futuro sustentável construído sobre os fundamentos da IA. A colaboração baseada em princípios de código aberto promove transparência, cultura aberta e controle da comunidade, além de impulsionar o desenvolvimento de tecnologia de IA ética, inclusiva e responsável no curto e longo prazo.

99Food opens registration for restaurants throughout Brazil with revolutionary model, without fees or commissions

99Food officially opens on Tuesday (29), the registration for restaurants throughout Brazil that want to integrate the new food delivery platform of 99. Restaurants across the country, which can register on the platform from today, will not need to pay commission and monthly, costs that excluded many merchants from this system that brings convenience to the population and generates income to thousands of motorcyclists. When the service is launched, establishments will have immediate access to more than 55 million users of 99.

For the first time in Brazil, restaurants will be able to operate on a large delivery platform without paying any monthly fee or commission, accessing profit and growth opportunities & NOT through a one-off promotion.All restaurants in Brazil will be able to take advantage of this model for 24 months from the moment they register, which reinforces 99Food's long-term commitment to the sector to always keep the best deal for those who really make it happen.

By eliminating embedded costs and abusive commission structures, 99Food puts in the hands of restaurant owners the chance to make more money per order, while offering fairer prices for customers. The proposal will also give access to a large portion of the 400 thousand Brazilian restaurants that today have the option of delivery many of them because they can not afford the high rates currently charged and that, with the arrival of 99Food, will finally be able to take advantage of the growth potential that a digital platform like 99 can offer.

“Restaurants no longer need to give a third of what they earn just to cover” costs, says Bruno Rossini, senior director of 99.“This is a revolution.We are giving back control of the market to those who cook and those who deliver. On an average order, restaurants can earn about 20% more than today 201T a real leap that turns delivery into a source of profit, and still guarantees consumers the most affordable food options on the market.”

With 99Food, restaurants will no longer need to raise prices to cover fees and commissions - they will be able to charge the same amount from the counter, attracting more customers with fair and affordable meals.

99Food model returns control to restaurants

From today, any restaurant in Brazil can register at 99Food and choose between two simple models:

  • Full Service: 99food takes care of the whole process, with fixed delivery rate according to the distance;
  • Marketplace: the restaurant receives orders via 99Food, but makes the delivery on its own, maintaining full autonomy.

“This proposal is not a promotion. It is a new standard. And shows our commitment to always offer the best deal to Brazilian restaurants”, says Rossini.“We want to grow together: restaurants, deliverymen and customers, all winning with a more fair and intelligent model. Our ambition is to transform delivery and shape a new future for the food sector in the country”.

With investment of more than R$1 billion in 2025 alone, and presence on mobile of 1 in 4 Brazilians, 99 is the best positioned company to challenge the market and its main players 2 JO uniting mobility, means of payments and now food delivery in a complete convenience ecosystem.

The registration for restaurants is already open throughout Brazil in: merchant.99app.com. Establishments will receive a 30-day notice prior to the start of operation in their region. The launch for consumers is scheduled for mid-2025.
